BleepingComputer.com: Double Registry Entries with ".1" extension

Hello,

As I just checked my registry, I saw that many entries have been doubled with a ".1" extension.
I don't remember to have seen this ever before.The curver of the first entry just points to the second entry, which contains the same CLSID without a curver.

For example :

FunctionDiscovery.Discovery
---CLSID
---CurVer ---> points to FunctionDiscovery.Discovery.1
FunctionDiscovery.Discovery.1
---CLSID

where the 2 CLSID have an identical key

Most of the keys in my registry are doubled this way.

What happened, what is the effect ?

Thanks for answer !

Hi,

may I add that i didn't notice anything strange except these entries, not even a notable slow-down ?
Any hint ?
